I read several Au Gratin Potato recipes before I settled on this one, but I made a few adjustments:

* Cooked onions until translucent to keep the flavor more delicate
* Used King Arthur Gluten Free Multipurpose Flour (Celiac in our family)
* Substituted ground white pepper rather than black pepper
* Added 2 cloves minced garlic
* Added 1/2 tsp paprika (US traditional, not hot or Hungarian)
* Used Simply Potatoes Homestyle Slices as a way to save prep and cooking time
* Decreased cooking time to 35 minute

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!! I made this for our Christmas dinner. My only alterations from the recipe (because I hate measuring): heavy on the pepper and added a bit more reduced fat cheese. next time, I might add an extra onion and some garlic, just because. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe Kittencalskitchen.

Really, really great recipe. I cut the servings in half and want to reiterate that people should also cut the cooking times in half! I used a bit more cheese than the recipe indicated and so added an extra point, but still well, well worth it -- and super filling! I'm excited to make these again. Also, even if you're not on Weight Watchers -- who cares? It's delicious!
